Learn To Deploy MPLS And MPLS VPN Infrastructures
ANN ARBOR -- Merit Network Inc. will present MPLS: Implementing Cisco MPLS v2.3, a live online course, on Sept. 9-13.
In this hands-on course attendees will learn the theory and hands-on knowledge to implement, integrate and deploy an MPLS infrastructure.
Early Bird registration for Merit Member organizations is available through Aug. 9.
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a standards-approved technology for speeding up network traffic flow and making it easier to manage. MPLS involves setting up a specific path for a given sequence of packets, identified by a label put in each packet, thus saving the time needed for a router to look up the address to the next node to forward the packet to.
This course is designed to introduce attendees to MPLS concepts, installation, migration, operation, inspection and troubleshooting. You'll start with an overview of MPLS and MPLS operation, after which you'll concentrate on MPLS Virtual Private Network deployment. The MPLS fundamentals covered in this class will provide the theory and hands-on knowledge to implement, integrate and deploy an MPLS infrastructure.
Anyone responsible for designing, implementing, or troubleshooting MPLS networks or solutions based on MPLS technology should attend, along with individuals working toward CCIP certification.
Prerequisites are ICND2 - Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices 2, and BGP - Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers v3.2.
The class will run from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Monday through Friday, Sept. 9-13. It will be taught online via a desktop interface, and you may attend from any location with a reliable internet connection.
